Pro Dancers indeed....Ok, i have to admit, i've always loved Derek, but this whole season, has kinda turned it around for me...I've kinda seen his attitude and tonight, and Mark Ballas did what you all said he would do,,,next year i hope he gets a "kate" for a partner, let's see how he does with that.

Evan and Anna are the TRUE winners...

ps, what was Nicole screaming about...this couldn't have POSSIBLY meant that much to her, what was up with that??? It is a dance competition for petes sake.

oh yea, one more thing, this is the FIRST season i can remember where the final dance did not get all 10's....shame on you Len and Bruno...shame!!!

She was defeated, not by Evan or her choreography, but by the judges and producers.

And I noticed that Mark picked up Derek again--while he held the mirror ball leaving Nicole below. Tacky...

I know. He can't even let Nicole get her hands on the trophy. I felt even more crushed for Anna. I don't know what was more tacky, Len declaring Nicole the winner before Evan danced, or Mark rushing to Derek and acting like he alone won it.

Cool, good to know. Other people might just vote for a favorite for whatever reason/s, all the way through, and that should be all good as well. I've only voted for the Dallas Cowboys on this show -- -- so everyone really does have their own thing and it's all good as far as I'm concerned.

I started loathing the Ballas/Hough trio in season 7, which Derek was more or less handed a win. It's not up to the fans in the end, it's judged in the end and they pick the winner.

And it got worse! When Aiden hoisted Nicole up on his shoulders, she was holding the trophy (as she should - SHE is the celebrity - NOT Derek), tacky, classless Derek had to grab it from her so he could hold it and kiss it on camera.
